They are passionate and fun too. For them, the tourist is not a number but a precious person that they are eager to meet.

They are very punctual too, something not that common in this part of the world .

Meeting point and pickup

The operator picks every participant up from their accommodation or the points below.

Pickup points

Jorge Newbery Airport
Alvear Palace Hotel
Ministro Pistarini International Airport

Passengers are requested to be at the pick up place 10 minutes before pick up since sometimes we arrive earlier. The best place is always the lobby of the hotel. Not outside.

The guide will find you just calling out your name at the lobby of the hotel and, if you are not there, do not worry because we will ask the concierge to call you to your room or call the breakfast area.

If we do not find you we will go to the breakfast area ourselves. We always find you in time so, do not worry!

If you are staying at an apartment, please provide us with the exact number and letter of your apartment the previous day of the tour, just writing to us on WhatsApp. If this is not possible, do not worry: we will ring the bell of your apartment and call you on your phone at the same time. Finding you is not a problem for us.

The best way for apartments is to be standing out on the street at the door of the building 10 minutes before pick up time but don't worry if you can't.
